There is much truth in this statement. With very few exceptions, the LEGAL, hard working foreign born people I deal with mostly lean right and are very understanding of, and in disagreement with, the tax and spend ways of the dumbocrats. They are also very much in favor of tightening the noose on illegal immigration.
